Request InfoFAULHABER MICROMOCLEARWATER, Fla., Jan. 20, 2013 — Micromo, a member of the Faulhaber Group, has introduced the BS22-1.5 spindle drive. In the case of rotary drive tasks, conversion and optimal adaptation of mechanical torques to the respective application usually occur via finely graduated reduction gear heads. High-precision lead screws in combination with DC micromotors, brushless DC servomotors or stepper motors also make it possible to convert the rotational movement into linear stroke or tensile movements. The use of ball screws in the series BS 22-1.5 enables linear movements with minimum travel variations of a maximum of 5...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 6/13/2023Linear Voice Coil MotorThe HVCM-051-032-013-01 Linear Voice Coil Motor from Moticont features a high force-to-size ratio and a 19.1-mm stroke.
